Brand new install (as of yesterday). Missed any "agree to license", and
missed choosing software. Manually groupinstalled
Installed Environment Groups:
     KDE Plasma Workspaces
     Development and Creative Workstation

Tried to reinstall:
No group named KDE Plasma Workspaces exists

I'm assuming I need to install something else, but does anyone have a
clue? I really do NOT want gnome.
I don't know how the situation is with C8 but I always liked XFCE to get
work done. It has less dependencies and is therefore a bit easier to
install.

Doesn't address my problem.

Hi mark,

I suppose that you are using C8.1. This are my steps to install Plasma 5 from EPEL starting from a minimal centos installation.

# dnf install epel-release
# dnf config-manager --set-enabled PowerTools
# dnf grouplist "KDE"
# dnf install sddm
# systemctl set-default graphical
# systemctl enable sddm
# reboot

It worked on first shot.
Now, I'm using an old Nvidia GTX 1050ti and it works with any problem using nouveau and nvidia driver.

If it does not start as normal, try to install xfce group and see if you can run it. If not there is something missing or a video driver problem

Other this I can't help anymore, maybe some logs could be usefull.

Hope that helps.
